Drinking Water Source Protection Program

Drinking Water Source Assessment Program (DWSAP)

The NH Department of Environmental Services established its Drinking Water Source Assessment Program as part of its Drinking Water Source Protection Program to help improve protection of public water supply sources. The DWSAP will do this by providing information about the vulnerability of each of the approximately 2,950 public water supply sources in the state. This information is being provided in the form of assessment reports (one for each public water supply source) to public water suppliers and the general public. While DES was required by the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments of 1996 to have this program, it did have some discretion as to how the information was gathered to prepare the assessment reports. DES's approach, described in detail in its DWSAP Plan, was approved by the USEPA in May 1999.
